Sophomore driver Isaac Lyons picked up his first Skip Barber National win whileDennis Trebing became the first repeat winner of the 2010 season this weekend at Sebring InternationalRaceway. The weekend results helped to tighten in the sharp end of the point standings

Round 3Brazilian driver Nicolas Costa scored his first career Skip Barber National pole after several drivers werecaught out by chain reaction contact going into the hairpin, which ruined their last shots to best Costa’stime from early in the session. Costa and Nick Andries led the field to green on Thursday afternoon.At the start, the third starting Ashley Freiberg got the jump, taking the lead for the first lap of the race.The main battle of the race became between Floridians Dennis Trebing and Spencer Pigot and IrishmanIsaac Lyons. At 3.7 miles and with 17 turns all told, Sebring International Raceway favors driversexperienced with the track and with the draft. As the more experienced (and familiar with each other )drivers worked together to get toward the front, rookie drivers like polesitter Costa were at adisadvantage, finding themselves dropping in the order as the race progressed.

One driver getting quickly acclimated to Sebring International Raceway and the Skip Barber Race Seriesin general was Daniel Lloyd. The Englishman started the race from the 12th position, but quickly workedhis way to the front, getting to third by the end of the second lap and holding his own against his moreexperienced competitors. He got himself back up to second behind Lyons late in the race before beingshuffled back to fifth at the finish, his first top five finish in not only this third ever Skip Barber RaceSeries event, but his third ever open wheel race.

Out front the last lap turned into a three-way battle between Lyons and the MAZDASPEED MotorsportsDevelopment duo of Spencer Pigot and Felix Serralles. Going into 17 for the final time, Lyons was ableto protect his lead just enough to prevent either of his followers from outbraking him. While Pigot did getone last chance to pop coming to the line it was Isaac Lyons picking up the win by .126 of a second overPigot. Serralles was a little over a second back, holding off Nick Andries for third. After theaforementioned Lloyd in fifth place came Dennis Trebing, who led laps early before fading to sixth. LuisMichael Dörrbecker put in a solid run to back up this progress at Homestead with a seventh, followed bypolesitter Nicolas Costa, who was thwarted by mechanical issues, and Mukul Sud while Scott Andersonrounded out the top ten.

Round 4Daniel Lloyd continued his rapid progress in American open wheel racing by taking the pole position forRound 4. The qualifying session was interrupted by a black flag brought out for an incident between SkipBarber Cup driver Jim Norman and series newcomer Thomas McGregor in Turn 1 that severely damagedboth cars. Both drivers walked away but had to go to spare cars for the race.

Lloyd and Dennis Trebing led the field to the green for the start of Round 4. Like each of the threeprevious races of the season, Round 4 became a chess match of drafting and momentum. Spencer Pigotled the first lap before being overtaken by Lloyd, who was then overtaken by Round 3 winner IsaacLyons. A run through the grass at the exit of Turn 16 onto Sebring International Raceway’s long backstraightaway left Lloyd’s radiators full of debris, leading to an overheating issue that saw him drop backfrom the lead pack. He would end up 11th. Meanwhile the drivers in the lead pack began to do their thing;working together before settling things among themselves. All that cooperation went out the window onthe penultimate lap, as a scramble for position between positions two through seven allowed Trebing, theleader since Lap 4, to break away from the pack in a slow corner so that by the time the cars were movingfast enough for the draft to work, he was gone.

With proud father Ralf standing on the pit wall to watch, Dennis Trebing cruised to an almost unheard ofin the Skip Barber National six-second margin of victory over fellow Floridians Felix Serralles andSpencer Pigot. Isaac Lyons, as high as 2nd on the last lap, got caught out in the shuffle and finished hisstrongest weekend to date in fourth. Ashley Freiberg rebounded from both a Round 3 blocking penaltyand a mechanical problem in Round 4 qualifying to pick up her second top five of the season. ScottAnderson picked up his best result to date with a sixth ahead of Nick Andries. Michael Dörrbecker, whostarted last after missing qualifying because of, what could be a first in racing history, an iPod syncproblem that changed the time zone on his alarm back to that of his home in Mexico, picked up sevenpositions to finish eighth ahead of Nicolas Costa and Mukul Sud.

With one win and four podiums in four races, Spencer Pigot holds onto the point lead by seven over IsaacLyons while two-time winner Dennis Trebing moves back into third place by nine over Nick Andrieswith Felix Serralles rounding out the top five. At this point in the season the championship is wide open.Pigot’s consistency and Trebing’s wins aside, no one has yet established themselves as the dominantforce in the 2010 season.
